The significance that people have attached
to this day tells us about the deepest desire. One of the important parts of
the event in ‘Bisu’ is Vishukkani. But
the meaning that the people of Tulunadu have attached to it is, ‘The first
thing seen on the day of Bisu. It means a lot the people for one reason. That
is unity which is drawn through the means of ‘hard work.’ When you and I have
the desire to see some good things on an auspicious day like Bisu we work for
it. The fruits, beetle leaves, holy
texts, rice, arecanut, yellow flowers, vegetables, lamp, etc are kept in the
prayer hall to say a word to God that there is prosperity in our lives and for
which we are thankful. Therefore Bisu is a blessing for the ones who wants to
begin the year meaningfully and joyfully. It is an invitation to have the
spirit of sharing and hard working so that the meaning of Bisu is reflected throughout
the year.
This
Tuluva New Year is mostly celebrated in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi because of the
Tuluvas presence. But the same name, with different spelling is celebrated in
Kerala. The joy of celebration brings the people as one family is quite distinct.
